Weather
Malta
Malta keeps the bright island motif for the Gozo day trip: sunny from the morning, around 23-25C early and about 26C by the afternoon, feeling closer to 28C in the stronger sun. Rain risk is basically background noise, with a light northwesterly breeze; make it a sunscreen, water, sunglasses, hat, and shade-break day, especially around Victoria and the coast.
